Good luck pigs, Glücksschweinchen

.

Runner-up for City Daily Photo shop window theme day:
these strange Glücksschweinchen! Good luck pig pillows in a Vienna store window. For only 24 Euros you can take one home. . UPDATE: Thanks to Merisi of Vienna for explaining the pig mystery in the comments.

People give each other a Glücksschweinchen on New Year's Eve. Usually they are smaller versions, tiny plastic piglets, chocolate or marzipan ones. They also give tiny chimney sweeps, four-leaf clover, toadstools, and horseshoes in edible and non-edible versions.

Come to think of it, I have no idea how the toadstools ended up amongst the good luck stuff. ;-)
